The couple's break-up paves the way for Ethan and Theresa to finally get together, but a further twist sees the policeman soon drawn back to Liberty, taking him back to square one.

"Liberty has been quite needy with the whole wedding thing, but Ethan sees her in a different light when she gets all standoffish with him," Vye told Soaplife of the storyline. "He sees her sing at Chez Chez and it's clear he's still smitten."

Vye confirmed that Ethan secretly reunites with Liberty, despite having told Theresa that he is free to be with her.

"He's fallen for Theresa yet part of him still loves Liberty," he said. "They share a kiss and it looks like they're secretly back on."

Asked whether Ethan's actions could end badly, the actor replied: "It looks like it. I can see Ethan ending up on his own, but that could be the best thing for him - he's clearly not ready to settle down!"
